Languages Offered
Professional On-Site Interpretation
In-person interpretation puts all parties at ease knowing that what they say will be understood. At NIS, we understand that verbatim (word-for-word) interpretations can lead to confusion – which is why our interpreters focus also on the context and meaning of what is being said in order to account for cultural nuances.
We are aware of and avoid false cognates, which can include: exit vs. exito (“success”), intoxicated vs. intoxicado (“poisoned” or “overfull”), molest vs. molestia (“inconvenience/annoyance”), assist vs. asistir (“to be present”), embarrassed vs. embarazada (“pregnant”). No matter the language, NIS interpreters receive regular updates in their training, meaning you can be assured that the interpretation is clear and accurate.
OPI: Over-the-Phone (Telephonic) Interpretation
There are situations that call for more flexibility than that offered by in-person interpretation. For instance, in case of an urgent request, it may not be possible for an interpreter to arrive quickly enough. Over-the-Phone Interpretations (OPIs) are an effective alternative to face-to-face conversations.
We also provide video remote interpretation services for Zoom calls and other video communication platforms.
VRI: Video Remote Interpretation
VRI services are convenient and can be accessed on a variety of internet-connected devices. Our remote interpreting services offer quick and reliable access to a skilled interpreter. The face-to-face nature of VRI adds a personal touch and helps ensure accurate interpretation.
Document Translation
- For each document translation project, a dedicated NIS translator performs an accurate and high-quality translation of the text. Unlike AI-powered apps and websites, an NIS-certified translation goes beyond word-for-word, literal translations, which often miss the point of the document.
